[QUOTE="Scotty, post: 52647, member: 78"] Most of the ones I have had to feed are because the cow died. I have learned you can get them to drink from a bucket and takes 1/4 of the time to feed. First get them used to replacer. Next get them by themselves. They will knock over each others milk. When you are ready to try get a bucket that has a larger type opening, but not to deep. I took the bucket with milk and the nipple and stuck it in the calfs mouth. Teasing it to the bucket and then submerged my hand and nipple into the bucket. It takes patients but eventually they will start sucking at the nipple with their nose in the milk learning they don't need the nipple and get the hang of it. ;-) It is also funny to watch after they are finished beat up the bucket. I recomend using a tough bucket. I use stainless. Scotty [/QUOTE]
